It&#8217;s tempting to throw your nice knives in the dishwasher along with all the other cookware, but you should resist the urge to hasten the cleanup process.<\/p>\n<p>While some nice knives claim to be dishwasher safe (and most don&#8217;t), it&#8217;s really not recommended for a number of reasons.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Knives in the dishwasher can bang against other items, potentially chipping the knives, your glasses, or the dishwasher racks.\n<li>Dishwashers can hasten the dulling process.\n<li>Prolonged exposure to water can cause the blades to rust and stain. If the handles are wood, they can warp and crack.\n<li>You can accidentally cut your hand as you unload the racks.\n<\/ul>\n<p>In general, it&#8217;s always best to clean and dry your nice knives by hand after each use. After paying a lot for fine-quality knives, you want to preserve them for as long as possible. Refer to the manufacturer&#8217;s instructions to find out whether you need a specific cleanser. Some knives also need regular polishing to retain their luster.  <\/p>\n<div style=\"background-color: #eeeeee;\">\n<table>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td><a href=\"http:\/\/10rate.com\/brittany-rowland\/\"><img title=\"Brittany Rowland\" src=\"http:\/\/10rate.com\/graphics\/authors\/brittany_rowland_50.jpg\" alt=\"Brittany Rowland\" \/><\/a><\/td>\n<td><sup><strong><span style=\"color: #440e62;\">Brittany Rowland researches new developments in Appliances, Kitchen and CE products features with a vigor to which few would aspire&#8230; but someone has to do it.<\/span> <a href=\"http:\/\/10rate.com\/brittany-rowland\/\">See more about Brittany<\/a><\/strong><\/sup><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n<h2 class=\"bgheading\">Related Top 10 Lists<\/h2>\n<h3><a href=\"http:\/\/10rate.com\/best-knife-sets-reviews\/\">Top 10 Knife Sets<\/a><\/h3>\n<p><img src=\"http:\/\/10rate.com\/images\/knifesets\/shun-DM2002B.jpg\" alt=\"Top 10 Knife Sets\" class=\"post_thumbnail thumbnail\" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"bgpara\">Knife sets can be a convenient solution if you want a complete set of all the essential tools but you don\u2019t want to spend a fortune on each individual knife.
